The Aigner family!🎵
At the Beijing 2022 Paralympic Winter Games, the Aigner siblings took the spotlight in Para alpine skiing. Veronika and her guide and older sister Elisabeth, along with their twin siblings Johannes and Barbara won a total of nine medals in their Paralympic debut.
Competing in front of their parents at Yangqing National Para Alpine Skiing Centre, the siblings took Austria to the top of the Para alpine medals table with four golds.
“It’s a beautiful memory, and it was a wonderful experience. Something I did not want to miss,” said Johannes, who won two golds, two silvers and a bronze in the men’s vision impaired category at Beijing 2022.
“You only start realising what you’ve achieved a week or two after the Games, because the focus is always on the next race. You don’t want to rest on your laurels, as they say so nicely. It took me some time to process it all.”
